Guide to the Getty Research Institute, Scholars Program Images and Recordings, 1985-2007

Series I. Audio recordings, 1987-2001,

Physical Description: 21.7 linear feet (27 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

The material consists of audiocassette and compact disc recordings of lectures, panel discussions, conferences, and other events hosted by the Getty Research Institute (and its predecessors) and given by Getty Scholars, staff, and invited speakers, 1987-2002. Every year since 1985 the Research Institute has invited scholars, artists, and other cultural figures from around the world to work in residence at the Institute on projects that bear upon its annual research theme. While in residence, they pursue their own research projects, make use of Getty collections, and participate in the intellectual life of the Getty Center and the Getty Villa.The lectures and events hosted by the Scholars Program tend to focus on the given theme for that particular scholar year (see Past Themes and Scholars in Residence for a list of past scholars and scholar year themes). Other lectures and events represented in this collection, although held at the Getty Center and attended by Getty Scholars, were not specifically hosted by the Scholars Program and cover varied topics. These include ongoing series such as Works-in-Progress as well as special symposia and conferences held at the Getty Center.

Additional Information Available

Please note that scholar event recordings created from Scholar Year 2001/2002 through the present are not listed in this inventory. Lists of recordings from 2001/2002 and following are part of broader collections and are available through the following inventories:

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1986/1987. During this time Getty Scholars explored two research themes: Seventeenth Century Dutch painting and the broader issues of art patronage. The scholars were drawn from disciplines ranging from art history to economic history. While most of the lectures given during this academic year were inspired by the scholar theme "Seventeenth Century Dutch Art and Society/Patronage," some of the lectures are not thematically related.

Arrangement note

The recordings are grouped first by symposia/theme, followed by a group of more general lectures and presentations. Within each group, the recordings are in chronological order.

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1987/1988. During this time Getty Scholars pursued individual areas of research while also exploring the theme of reception and interpretation of works of art and cultural products. Scholars approached this theme from their personal areas of expertise, which ranged from photography through ethnomathematics. While many of the lectures given during this academic year were inspired by the scholar theme: "Reception and Interpretation of the Arts," some of the recordings are not thematically related.

Scholar Year 1988/1989 audio recordings (on-site access only)

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1988/1989. During this time Getty Scholars focused on the distinctive qualities of cultural products selected for historical analysis or the ways in which scholarly interpretations are linked to particular methodological and theoretical assumptions. Many stressed close observation of cultural customs, traditions, and patterns of production. Others examined disciplinary practices and their interpretive strategies. Vital contributions were made toward fashioning interdisciplinary approaches for analyzing cultural continuities and changes. This group of scholars was drawn from the fields of anthropology, ethnography, the history of art, social history, and sociology. While many of the lectures given during this academic year were inspired by the scholar theme "The Production of Artifacts and the Formation of Disciplines," some of the lectures are not thematically related.

Arrangement note

The recordings are grouped first by symposia/theme, followed by a group of more general lectures and presentations. Within each group, the recordings are in chronological order.

Access Information

Due to rights restrictions, online versions of the recordings are available to on-site researchers only. A researcher may request use copies (CDs) of specific recordings for in-library use at his or her local library by placing a request through the Getty's Interlibrary Loan program.

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1989/1990. During this year the Getty Scholars played an important role in the development of a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the arts of the early twentieth century, especially those called avant-garde, by increasing our understanding of the cultures in which they flourished. The fields of interest represented included comparative literature, the history of art and architecture, musicology, psychology, and film history. While most of the lectures given during this academic year were inspired by the scholar theme "The Avant-Garde," some of the lectures are not thematically related.

Arrangement note

The recordings are listed in chronological order.

Scholar Year 1990/1991 audio recordings (on-site access only)

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1990/1991. This scholar year was originally centered around classical antiquity. A broad spectrum of scholars working in that field were invited, together with a smaller satellite group working on the Ancient Near East, Africa, Pre-Columbian America, and Asia. The group of scholars who accepted the invitation engaged in a rich comparativist interplay related to their studies in Pre-Columbian and colonial Peru, Africa, the Ancient Near East, Etruscan Italy, and the Hellenistic world. In the end, only Asia was unrepresented. While most of the lectures given during this academic year were inspired by the scholar theme "Time and Ritual in Antiquity," some of the lectures are not thematically related.

Arrangement note

The recordings are grouped first by symposia/theme, followed by a group of more general lectures and presentations. Within each group, the recordings are in chronological order.

Access Information

Due to rights restrictions, online versions of the recordings are available to on-site researchers only. A researcher may request use copies (CDs) of specific recordings for in-library use at his or her local library by placing a request through the Getty's Interlibrary Loan program.

view online item

Physical Description: (51 audiocassettes and 1 copy)

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1990/1991. This scholar year was originally centered around classical antiquity. A broad spectrum of scholars working in that field were invited, together with a smaller satellite group working on the Ancient Near East, Africa, Pre-Columbian America, and Asia. The group of scholars who accepted the invitation engaged in a rich comparativist interplay related to their studies in Pre-Columbian and colonial Peru, Africa, the Ancient Near East, Etruscan Italy, and the Hellenistic world. In the end, only Asia was unrepresented. While most of the lectures given during this academic year were inspired by the scholar theme "Time and Ritual in Antiquity," some of the lectures are not thematically related.

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1991/1992. The theme for the year was "Popular and Mass Culture." During this time scholars engaged in research that advanced our understanding of the realms of expression variously labeled traditional, popular, folk, ethnic, and commercial. They explored the thresholds between these categories and what is generally defined as high culture. Research focused on the nature and impact of popular and traditional beliefs on religion, education, imagery, and culture from the Middle Ages to the present. The fields of study represented included art, architecture, dance, literature, philosophy, and film.

From March to June of 1992, selected events were conducted under Thomas Reese's project, Shifting Boundaries/Contested Space, a collection of presentations based on popular culture, the overall theme for that year. Several panels, series, and conferences are included for the 1991-1992 scholar year, and of those that were explicitly stated in the recordings to be part of the project, their inclusion is stated in a note.

Arrangement note

The recordings are grouped first by symposia/theme, followed by a group of more general lectures and presentations. Within each group, the recordings are in chronological order.

Access Information

Due to rights restrictions, online versions of the recordings are available to on-site researchers only. A researcher may request use copies (CDs) of specific recordings for in-library use at his or her local library by placing a request through the Getty's Interlibrary Loan program.

Scholar Year 1991/1992: Lectures and presentations audio recordings (on-site access only)

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1991/1992 that were not part of specific symposia or conferences. The theme for the year was "Popular and Mass Culture." During this time scholars engaged in research that advanced our understanding of the realms of expression variously labeled traditional, popular, folk, ethnic, and commercial. They explored the thresholds between these categories and what is generally defined as high culture. Research focused on the nature and impact of popular and traditional beliefs on religion, education, imagery, and culture from the Middle Ages to the present. The fields of study represented included art, architecture, dance, literature, philosophy, and film.

Some of the recordings in this section were part of larger group of lectures under a project headed by Thomas Reese and David Jensen, the Shifting Boundaries/Contested Space series (a group of presentations based on popular culture). The relationship between the recording and the series has been noted where known, but it is possible that not all of the recordings in the series have been identified.

Series I.H.1. Sexual Illegals, Barbershop Soundscape, Hittite Empire, September 7, 1993

Scholar Year 1993/1994: Sexual Illegals, Barbershop Soundscape, Hittite Empire audio recordings (on-site access only)

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise audio recordings of an event held at the Getty during the scholar year 1993/1994 under the theme "The Americas." The recordings capture African American male poets/writers each telling a "story" or reciting a poem about an experience from their own lives and discussing why that memory is meaningful to them. Following individual readings is a discussion between writer-director Keith Antar Mason, professional barbers, and participating poets revealing the barbershop as central to African American culture--a place where men experience symbolic rites of passage and bond as they share experiences, folklore, and milestones in their lives.

The Getty documented the Hittite Empire theater troupe's process of connecting the oral history tradition transposed from Africa to L.A.'s urban barbershops. Keith Antar Mason's research on barbershops was the basis for a theater piece, "Sexual Illegals," performed by the Hittite Empire, which was one of five Memory Projects commissioned as part of the 1993 L.A. Festival. The recordings herein are related to this performance, but do not document it.

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise 1994 audio recordings of seminars that launched a continued lecture series, "Imaging the City in the Americas. . ." The prototypical seminar was developed by Thomas Reese and a Getty research group that included Claudia Bohn-Spector, Research Project Analyst; Wim De Wit, Head of Special Collections; Margarita Gutman, Getty Scholar, 1993-1994; and Carol McMichael Reese, Scholar Associate. According to Reese, "the research focus of the seminar [was] to consider how the image of the American city came into being and how it functioned in the construction of civic identities. In a multidisciplinary and comparative approach to the subject, and within the context of social, political, and economic conditions of urbanization, the seminar [focused] on selected cities that experienced rapid demographic change and economic expansion in the early 20th century, in order to examine the relationship between the politics of their development and their visual representation in popular culture, art, and literature. The objective [was] to illuminate not only the means by which ideas and images of urban form were constructed for, as well as by, various urban constituencies, but also the full range of modernist technologies that were harnessed for these purposes. Initial seminar sessions focused on Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and Los Angeles."

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise audio recordings of a series of instructional lectures presented by art historian Linda Seidel during the scholar year 1993/1994. These five lectures, although hosted by the Getty, were thematically unrelated to other events that year; they were part of a graduate seminar taught by Professor Seidel at UCLA. The lectures focus on Flemish portraiture in the 15th century with significant attention paid to the Arnolfini Wedding Portrait, Ghent Altarpiece, and Freidsam Annunciation by Jan Van Eyck. Lectures touch on work by Robert Campin, Willem van Haecht, and many others. Seidel also discusses Erwin Panofsky's book Early Netherlandish Painting, explores relationships between the writings of Pliny and Flemish painting, and talks about the influences of the culture and religion of the 15th century upon the paintings of the time.

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise 1994-1995 recordings of the seminar "Imaging the City in the Americas." According to director Thomas F. Reese, the "research focus of the seminar is to consider how the image of the American city came into being and how it functioned in the construction of civic identities. In a multidisciplinary and comparative approach to the subject, and within the context of social, political, and economic conditions of urbanization, the seminar focuses on selected cities that experienced rapid demographic change and economic expansion in the early 20th century, in order to examine the relationship between the politics of their development and their visual representation in popular culture, art, and literature. The objective is to illuminate not only the means by which ideas and images of urban form were constructed for, as well as by, various urban constituencies, but also the full range of modernist technologies that were harnessed for these purposes."

view online item

Scope and Content Note

The audio recordings capture lectures presented by Carlo Ginzburg in the spring of 1995 as he discusses the concept of "Making Things Strange." Ginzburg suggests that gaining perspective on some works of art is best achieved by distancing oneself from the work, and that this type of estrangement is a literary device with its own unique history.

Scholar Year 1995/1996 audio recordings (on-site access only)

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1995/1996. During this time Getty scholars explored the theme "The Nature and Idea of Collecting" as a topic broadly defined to include: the social and institutional practice of collecting; how it reflects the values of a given community, region, and era; systems of display and classification; and the emergence of new languages and classes of collecting. Among the areas studied by this year's Getty Scholars were the collecting practices of Renaissance Italy, the dispersal of the art collections of Great Britain after the Civil Wars of 1640, and the social function of collecting in Oceanic cultures.

Arrangement note

The recordings are grouped first by symposia/theme, followed by a group of more general lectures and presentations. Within each group, the recordings are in chronological order.

Access Information

Due to rights restrictions, online versions of the recordings are available to on-site researchers only. A researcher may request use copies (CDs) of specific recordings for in-library use at his or her local library by placing a request through the Getty's Interlibrary Loan program.

Series I.K. Scholar Year 1996-1997

Scholar Year 1996/1997 audio recordings (on-site access only)

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise audio recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1996/1997. During this time Getty scholars explored the theme Perspectives on Los Angeles: Narratives, Images, History, which was devoted to research on Los Angeles and to comparative projects that viewed the city in relationship to other hemispheric and global sites. Scholars in residence had the opportunity to participate in a number of corollary programs developed by the Research Institute on issues of identity, community, and public culture, as well as programs having to do with preservation, resource development, and the comparative study of cities in the Americas at the turn of the century. A series of lectures was also presented in anticipation of the J. Paul Getty Museum's 1999 exhibition "Dosso Dossi, Court Painter in Renaissance Ferrara."

Arrangement note

The recordings are grouped first by symposia/theme, followed by a group of more general lectures and presentations. Within each group, the recordings are listed in chronological order.

Access Information

Due to rights restrictions, online versions of the recordings are available to on-site researchers only. A researcher may request use copies (CDs) of specific recordings for in-library use at his or her local library by placing a request through the Getty's Interlibrary Loan program.

view online item

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise audio recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar years 1997/1998 and 1998/1999. During this time Getty scholars explored the theme of the residential scholar program Representing the Passions and studied the ways in which strong, ungovernable emotions have been represented and classified in the arts throughout the history of the arts and humanities. This theme focused on the social need to name the passions (thus distinguishing them from one another) and to develop gestural and rhetorical conventions and codes in reference to them, while simultaneously noting how the ungovernability of the passions threatens either to break through or to be lost by the cultural conventions and codes that attempt to ritualize and control them. Theorists of human nature, language, and politics have wrestled with the challenge of the ungovernability of the passions since antiquity and the challenge continues to confront contemporary painters, actors, writers, and musicians.

Arrangement note

The recordings are grouped first by symposia/theme, followed by a group of more general lectures and presentations. Within each group, the recordings are listed in chronological order.

Access Information

Due to rights restrictions, online versions of the recordings are available to on-site researchers only. A researcher may request use copies (CDs) of specific recordings for in-library use at his or her local library by placing a request through the Getty's Interlibrary Loan program.

Series I.M. Scholar Year 1999-2000

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 1999/2000. During this time Getty scholars explored the theme Humanities in Comparative, Historical Perspective. Scholars studied how the humanities had developed as a cultural category in the United States and what work was done (or avoided) by this categorization. They were particularly interested in the relation of the history of art to other fields of humanistic study. How had these fields developed in relation to the arts, and how were contemporary artistic practices being informed by and making contributions to these fields? They were also interested in the connections between the humanities and other areas of culture, including the sciences, popular culture, and religion. How had the identity of the humanities developed in relation and contradistinction to these other areas, and what productive connections could be developed between them? Their approach to these issues was largely comparative and historical. That is, they explored how cultural categories analogous to "humanities" ( sciences humaines and Geisteswissenschaften, for example) had developed in diverse contexts around the world and examined the different kinds of cultural work in these categories.

Series I.N. Scholar Year 2000-2001

Scope and Content Note

Materials comprise recordings of events, lectures, and discussions held at the Getty during the scholar year 2000/2001. During this time Getty Scholars explored the theme Reproductions and originals. Of interest during this scholar year were such issues as the often fugitive nature of reproductive media; the ambiguous status of reproductions as "realistic" representations or decontextualized fragments; the use of reproductions in defining intellectual categories and developing object taxonomies; the pedagogical applications of visual archives; asymmetries between direct observation, textual description, and illustration; and the roles of reproductive images in establishing, sustaining, recovering, and replacing cultural memory. Of interest also were questions stemming from any number of relevant subjects, from ekphrasis to conceptual art, from Cassiano Dal Pozzo's Paper Museum to quotation practices by postmodern artists, from tapestry production in the Old Regime to Chinese literati painting and calligraphy in the manner of revered masters. The words used to address subjects such as these led to controversial questions about authenticity and creativity of import to scholars from across the humanities.
